Overview
Built for hunters who want a practical mid-range optic, this scope pairs 4-12x magnification with a 44 mm objective and a second focal plane Dead-Hold BDC (MOA) reticle. The capped turrets and 1/4 MOA adjustments suit deliberate sighting-in and field use, while the 1-inch tube keeps the setup straightforward on compatible rifles. With 3.8 inches of eye relief and a field of view from 26.9 to 8.6 feet at 100 yards, it is aimed at everything from close timber shots to more extended opportunities. At 13.4 inches long and 20.7 ounces, it offers a balanced size for hunters who want useful magnification without moving into a larger, more specialized optic.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 4-12x magnification range is versatile, but it does not offer the low-end or high-end extremes some hunters may want for very close or very distant work.
- The second focal plane reticle keeps the Dead-Hold BDC (MOA) subtensions consistent only at the specified magnification context, so it is less flexible than a first focal plane setup for some users.
- Capped turrets favor a set-and-forget hunting setup, but they are less convenient for frequent dialing than exposed target-style adjustments.
- The 1" tube and 44 mm objective keep the profile familiar for many hunting rifles, though they may not suit shooters looking for a larger tube format.
